Pros

Great company, good culture, lots of support from management and HR for any personal concerns. Pay is good, they finally embraced 100% remote work.

Cons

Hours and hours of phone calls, every single day. They have pledged to their clients that any technical support case, regardless of the severity or technical experience level, can request a remote support session ( where you control the customers computer ) for their case and these MUST be honored. These calls typically last 1 hour, and can last 3 hours or even longer. There are advancement opportunities for specialization of the software but not as many for new team leads or managers. Senior management is tone deaf to the concerns of the agents. You are encouraged to report any problem, but no action will be taken to alleviate the condition. Elitism and snobbery are common in the engineering teams and reporting it gets you nowhere.

Pros

Pay is good as well as benefits.

Cons

Poor organizational structure and lack of clarity: Roles, responsibilities, and reporting lines were confusing. This made collaboration and accountability very difficult. Nepotism and favoritism in leadership: Upper management heavily favored hiring and promoting people from their previous companies the "buddy system". Loyalty to personal networks appeared to matter more than competence or performance, which created cliques and made nonconnected employees feel like outsiders. Hypocritical company culture: Leadership frequently talked about "employee matters" values, strong culture, and employee well being, but in practice these were not reflected in actions. Layoffs, heavy workloads after staff reductions, and a focus on looking good on paper undermined any real trust. Frequent layoffs and job insecurity: Multiple rounds of layoffs created constant uncertainty. Remaining employees were expected to absorb significantly more work with fewer resources and little recognition or support. Heavy favoritism toward offshoring and lower cost international employees: Upper management strongly preferred hiring or retaining talent in countries with significantly lower cost of living because their lower salaries made departmental budgets and headcount metrics look better on paper. This resulted in U.S. based employees being disproportionately targeted in layoffs or overlooked for retention/promotion.
